Former Scandal Actor Kagiso Modupe’s Fall from Wealth to Homelessness.Johannesburg, South Africa – Kagiso Modupe, a once-prominent actor in the South African film industry, has recently found himself at the lowest point of his life.

Modupe, widely recognized for his role as Mangaliso Nyathi on the popular television show Scandal, has been a prominent figure in the South African film industry for decades. With his sophisticated acting skills and versatile performances, he has garnered a loyal fan base. However, behind the scenes, Modupe faced a series of challenges that ultimately led to his downfall.

One of the significant setbacks in Modupe’s life was his failed attempt to produce a film. He invested a substantial amount of his wealth, amounting to millions of dollars, in the venture. Unfortunately, the project did not yield the expected results, and Modupe found himself in a financial crisis. The loss of his fortune was a devastating blow, pushing him into a downward spiral.

Modupe’s departure from the television show Scandal also played a significant role in his downward trajectory. Seeking independence and a chance to make a broader impact, he made the difficult decision to leave the show.

One of the reasons behind his departure was the cutthroat competition for roles on the series. Tired of constantly battling with other actors, Modupe yearned to create opportunities for himself and improve the overall working conditions in the industry.

Motivated by his wife’s struggles to find employment after completing her education, Modupe made a commitment to empowering women in the industry. He vowed to hire a substantial number of women and provide them with meaningful roles in any project he was involved in.

His wife’s challenges were further exacerbated by her non-South African citizenship, making it even harder for her to secure employment. Modupe’s mission became a personal crusade to bring positive change and equality to the industry.

Details about his upbringing, family, and relationships have been kept private, leaving fans and admirers curious about the man behind the talent.Modupe’s academic journey provides some insight into his path to success. He obtained a BA in dramatic art from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and pursued an MFA in Dramaturgy at Columbia University in New York City. Throughout his education, he had the opportunity to study under esteemed mentors such as Gregory Mosher, Arnold Aronson, and Anne Bogart, refining his skills and expanding his theatrical expertise.

In addition to his acting prowess, Modupe has made significant contributions as a writer and playwright. His theatrical repertoire includes notable works such as “The Trumpeter,” “Lucid Interval,” “Blues for Tsheleng,” and “Avalon: A New Township Play.” The latter enjoyed success in New York and embarked on a UK tour in 2014.

These gentlemen cook and feed the homeless every Sunday may God Bless them 🙏

These days, Roger and Michelle McCoy don’t typically find themselves in a church building most Sunday mornings, but that doesn’t mean they’ve given up on church.

“This is our church, right here,” Roger told The News Herald as he gestured to a group of approximately 25 unsheltered individuals gathered in a small grassy lot on West Concord Street in Morganton.

 

 

 

 
Every Sunday since March, the McCoy’s have set up their ministry in this lot between the Grace Episcopal Church parking lot and the Auto Spa on South College Street. Starting at 11 a.m., the ministry, dubbed The Master’s Table, provides a homecooked meal for local residents currently experiencing homelessness. It’s an idea that had its genesis on the couple’s front porch last year.

“We were doing devotions on the back porch, and it come up on that Matthew part,” said Roger. “‘I was hungry, and you fed me,’ that part. That’s how it first got started.”“So, we left the church and just started doing it on our own,” she said.

It has taken some time to build the ministry up to what it is now.

“We went over town and hadn’t talked to a soul,” Roger said. “We had tomato soup and cheese sandwiches, that’s all we had … We had eight people, so we told them next Sunday, we’ll be here again, and we had a few more.”

As of July 2, The Master’s Table has grown to six volunteers who feed around 50 people every Sunday, but even after the challenges of those first few weeks, the process of finding a permanent home hasn’t been easy.

When the McCoy’s began the ministry in January, they set up in the parking lot between Martha’s Park and the old Belk’s Building on East Union Street. After several weeks, they were told they would have to find a new place. From there, Roger made unsuccessful attempts to house the ministry at the Burke Mission Station and in the parking lot of a downtown church before finally being allowed to use the lot adjacent to the Autospa.
